Tom Clancy's Net-Force

Amazon.com

Essentially a cautionary tale of slightly futuristic cyberterrorism, Netforce carries Tom Clancy's heavyweight name as the executive producer (but not writer). Don't expect a drama on the level of Patriot Games, however: Netforce is a blunt and somewhat rushed thriller with little time for character or relationship development. What it does offer is a scenario for the prospect of organized crime uniting with computer geeks and malevolent industrialists to sabotage national security through attacks on the Internet. Scott Bakula plays the FBI agent in charge of the Netforce division of the bureau; he takes charge after his mentor (Kris Kristofferson) is murdered and the investigation points to the involvement of a Web pioneer (Judge Reinhold). The hero's romance with a colleague (Joanna Going) grows a little trickier after he promotes her to the number two spot behind himself, but with the president's chief of staff (Brian Dennehy) breathing down their necks, that's the least of their professional problems. The action bounces around from good guys to sundry bad guys, but there's no question that a creeping paranoia about Net vulnerability and its disastrous implications grows on this production--and the viewers. --Tom Keogh

Net Force Rocks.......2006-08-22

Loved this movie for the most part, especially Scott Bakula and Chelsea Field. It was nice to see them together again in a movie. It has plenty of action and some nice moments between Scott and Chelsea and Alex and his daughter. The plot has a neat twist at the end.

Tom Clancy's Net-Force held my interest.......2006-05-28

I watched this movie for two reasons, it was about computers and Scott Bakula was a main actor starring in it. I enjoyed the action and the relationship factor in the story. You care for these characters and they are likeable too. I also was pleasantly entertained by the pace and acting of this movie, and love the twists at several parts. It kept me glued until the end. I enjoyed wtching it so much I purchaed the DVD.

Tom Clancy's Netforce.......2004-04-18

I've read some of Tom Clancy's works before. They are all quite entertaining in their own different way. However, the only one of Clancy's works transferred to the screen I've bothered to watch was Netforce. That was strictly to see Scott Bakula again. Scott's portrayal of Alex was a gem to see. After Netforce, I went out to find other books in this series and only read the Alex parts!

It sounds good.......2003-12-28

Hi everyone. MOst of you know who Tom Clancy is. He has video games out there. Like Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. Those are great games. So most people would think this would be a great movie since it has his name in it. I thought it was a pretty good movie. But most of the other reviews said it sucked. So if you don't believe me just see it yourself. And stop listening to the reviews.

Clancy must not research his movies as much as we thought.......2003-10-28

Very inaccurate depiction of computers. Tom Clancy, i thought you were highly touted as being a realistic researcher of the details... how did you flub this one so bad?
